Stephen Colbert Likely to Decline Invite to Participate in Wisconsin Protest (VIDEO)

Filed under: Reality-Free, TV Replay

On 'The Colbert Report' (Weeknights, 11:30PM ET on Comedy Central), Stephen Colbert responded to a sign from the continuing protest in Wisconsin over public sector union rights that requested he come to Wisconsin and join up with the cause.

The sign read "Stewart/Colbert we came to your rally now come to ours," in a reference to the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear that Colbert and Jon Stewart held last October in Washington, DC.

"First of all it's Stephen Colbert, I don't know who 'Stewart Colbert' is, get it right" Colbert quipped, in response to the protesters 1,000 miles away.

Then he explained he would only come to their rally in the unlikely event they booked Ozzy Osbourne, Cat Stevens, Sheryl Crow and the O'Jays, all of whom performed at the Rally to Restore Sanity.

Too bad. You know the old saying, "It's not a rally until a high-profile fake conservative pundit shows up."
